BILL CLINTON'S GREAT SKIVVIES GIVE-AWAY (1993 article on Clinton's Tax Deductions)
Washington Compost ^ | December 28, 1993 | Lloyd Grove

Posted on 10/02/2016 5:45:19 AM PDT by SamAdams76

It's that time of year again, Mr. President.

Time to celebrate the lingering Yuletide spirit and the bright promise of the year to come. Time to savor the companionship of friends and family.

Time to donate your underpants to a charitable organization so you can later claim a deduction on your 1993 tax return.

If the recent past is any guide, Bill Clinton and his wife, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, have been spending the past few months gathering up unwanted belongings -- from old shoes to shower curtains to jogging shorts to, yes, apparently used underwear -- carefully enumerating each item alongside dollar amounts on handwritten lists, and giving the lot to such worthy causes as the Salvation Army and Goodwill Industries.

Since the NY Slimes (a campaign arm of HRC for president) wants to talk about tax returns from the 1990s, some of us older Freepers might remember the comical ways that the Clintons tried to avoid "paying their fair share" of taxes - to quote the Crooked One today.

Tax returns from the day showed that the Clintons deducted their used underwear, mildewed shower curtains and jogging shorts to Goodwill and the Salvation Army and carefully logged each and every item.

So how much is somebody's "used underwear" actually worth to these charities: From the article:

"We don't get too much underwear here; I don't think people want that too much," said Joe Cheslow, a senior resident at the Union Rescue Mission, a haven for homeless people in Little Rock, Ark., that has been a frequent beneficiary of the Clintons' tax-deductible largess. The mission thrift shop has been known to sell used underwear, displayed in bins, at 95 cents a pair.

It should be noted that the Clintons deducted $2.00 for each pair of used underwear and up to $15 for their used "long underwear." Also on the list are used socks, a used Garbadine pants suit with "ripped pants", used shower curtains and even some used clothes from Chelsea - then still a child.

You can't make this stuff up!

Simply stated, the 2016 election is as stark a contrast between good and pure evil as this country has ever seen.

Facts few know. Should be used by Trump surrogates regarding tax return queries by press or Clinton camp.

I tried to imagine the 2016 Washington Post publishing a column like that about any Democrat.

The mainstream press was considerably more objective about Clinton back then. I suppose the eastern elites considered him a bumpkin, a no account. In time he became globalist royalty and their meal ticket.

I gotta say that from around that time I switched to boxers from briefs ... mainly because my girlfriend at the time insisted on it, and who am I to question this? She was hot, and I wanted to (ummmm, well you know) her ;) ... otherwise I never would have thought about 'selling' my skives or even 'donating' them as a tax writeoff. No, they went into the trashcan at the end of their usefulness.

Only a sleazy politician would take their underwear and declare it as a tax writeoff.

Clinton supports the stats quo complex tax code that only an expensive tax consultant can exploit.

Trump will simplify the tax code and remove all loopholes that benefit Clinton’s Wall Street donors.

Only anecdotes that advance the main theme should be used. Don’t distract voters with anecdotes that are true..but fail to focus on the decision point.

Obviously, the higher price tag includes his stains though with his many escapades they’re a dime a dozen.

If only Moo would donate some of the Kenyan’s we’d be able to find out who he really is.

This is just the first salvo. Later tax returns are sure to emerge, right when they’re needed, courtesy of the NYT and their confederates in the government.

Trump should never digress into any topic that does not directly relate to his campaign theme: Make America Great Again. Its a great theme that can get him elected if he sticks to it.

Just my humble opinion.

To me the real point is this: Dems seek to get a double benefit from raising tax rates: 1) “soak the rich” attracts jealous redistributionists; 2) those paying the high rates buy exemptions in the form of campaign contributions (a type of protection racket).

Remember the old kiddy poem?

I see London
I see France
I see Hillary Clinton’s underpants.
They might be blue
They might be white
They might be as full of shirt as she is.

I changed it a little bit.

Did the *Crintons ever release the tax return for the year when they left the White Hut all broke and stuff?

I remember those days, and when the hit piece on TRUMP and his taxes came up, the first thing I thought about was Bill and Hill’s smelly underwear deductions.
